is it allowed?

i put a block of color (fading red) after my adsense (at http://www.trendygadget.com ) , is it violation of google tos?

 

I'm sure it's fine as long as you didn't change the ad code.

 

That's a very interesting idea. Did it increase your CTR?

 

i'll tell you later on..
there is no enough data to compile yet..

ps: my ctr was droped after removing my image beautifier..

 

I dont think so google will have any problem but I have heard that it is not allowed to place an image besides the ad code

 

Nice idea, it looks good. I believe that this is allowed.

You should e-mail AdSense support to verify that it's OK. Let us know what they say if you do.

 

You should email adsense. I think they might have a problem with drawing too much attention to the ads.

 

I don't see a problem with it. It's clear that those are ads and the image is not even close to the ads.

 

Very nice. I would guess that it is ok, but I would also email the adsense team to know for sure. Please tell us the answer if you do so ?

 

i did not get any responses yet from google team, i contacted them via https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/request.py?ctx=cuffhelp
how to make them more responsive?
any body know where to contact larry page?

 

good news, they've just responsed my question:

Hi,

Thanks for your email. I reviewed http://www.trendygadget.com/ and found
that the implementation is currently compliant with our program policies.

For additional questions, I'd encourage you to visit the AdSense Help
Center (http://www.google.com/adsense_help), our complete resource center
for all AdSense topics. Alternatively, feel free to post your question on
the forum just for AdSense publishers: the AdSense Help Group
(http://groups.google.com/group/adsense-help).

Sincerely,

Becky
The Google AdSense Team

 

Yes, this is the good news for us. Thanks al-hilal.

 

If that is the case, then, count me as one of those who will be expecting also about the details of your ctr in the next posts...see ya.

 

Hi,
It sounds interesting.. But i would prefer any color other than RED... Just try blue or any other color..

As long as we don't tweak G code there should not be any issues i guess

Regards,
